The Shadowrun ReturnsKickstarter Page shows that this fundraising campaign is complete, and that over 36,000 backers have committed over USD $1.8 million to Harebrained Schemes' continuation of the cyberpunk RPG series. The game's kick start in place, they point the way to the Shadowrun Universe Website, where they have opened new forums dedicated to the project.

A NWN type engine, or a bethesda style open world game would both make me happy, after the first turn based game. If I had any faith that an MMO would be good, I would want that, but I can't see it.

Still, I think if the same team just keeps making more games in this same vein it will be great as well. As long as nothing like the Microsoft project ever happens again...

Here's to hoping. I chipped my 60 in, can't wait for this and hope it turns out being fantastic. I also have high hopes for Jordan's other IP, Battletech making a solid impression with MechWarrior Online, it's a shame they couldn't get the funding to do a full fledged title as that demo they shopped around a couple years ago was impressive.

Hoping MW:O feels like Multiplayer Battletech 3025, if that ends up being the case I may never need to by another game again.
